Every motorist and every motorcyclist has many obligations to respect, and if you forget something you risk very high fines.
Having a car or motorbike means having to remember many things. Respect all the rules that the Traffic Laws prescribes is the first step to avoid causing traffic problems, but also to avoid getting any fines. As we unfortunately already know very well, the sanctions are increasingly steepand none of us would like to lose our money due to an error, even the most banal one like the one we are talking about today.
Always being in compliance is essential, as we were saying: it is both a question of safety and savings. This means remembering all the deadlines that characterize the life of motorists: from insurance to inspection, from car tax to service.
Today, in particular, we talk about an essential device for every motorcyclist’s life: if you don’t have it, the police can give you really heavy fines.
The device you shouldn’t forget about
To establish what obligation you must remember is Article 72 of the Highway Codein particular paragraph 1. According to it, mopeds and motor vehicles must necessarily be equipped with rear-view devices, the presence of which is therefore mandatory.
In fact, we are talking about an essential device for the safety of those who drive a motorbike, because they allow the motorcyclist to check what is happening behind him before turning or overtaking. Based on the maximum speed of the vehicle It also depends on the quantity of mirrors you need: under 100, only one is enough. Above, you must necessarily have at least two.
What fines do they give you if you drive around without rear-view mirrors
Riding without rear-view mirrors on a motorbike is a danger not only to safety (because obviously it means you can’t watch what’s happening in the street behind you), but also for your wallet.
In fact, if the police catch you on a motorbike without any mirrors, you risk a fine ranging from a minimum of 86 up to 344 euros. The fine also applies to those who drive without having mirrors approved according to the law, or if they are irreversibly damaged.
